"One of photography’s gifts is its potential to create change in both the artist and the viewer." "I believe every moment has the potential to convey a frozen moment on the one hand, a statement about what transcends the moment on the other." "Photography can be a window onto one’s inner self even as it is a window onto the world." "My hope is to create images that tap into the universal and serve as a mirror against which the viewer can experience a resonance, such as a sense of peace." "Inner excitement can come from viewing something that is at first unfamiliar and then recognizable – such that initial ambiguity yields to discovery of underlying order." "Often, as I go about my day, unusual lighting or the interplay of color, which make the familiar and mundane more dramatic, will attract my attention." "Interplay of color or unusual lighting draws me in, calls me to attention, and invites me to see the ordinary in a new way." "By seeing the ordinary in a new way, each moment is a gift." "Photography has been such a gift in my life. It is both a rich resource for exploring the infinite manifestations of light and a metaphor for life itself." "Photography has been for me both a craft and a vehicle for spiritual growth and expression." "Through my photography I have come to understand that I cannot ‘see’ on the outside what I am not in touch with on the inside." "When I really see on the outside, there is greater clarity to my inner eye, my heart is moved, and in that moment I feel a connection and become one with the object." "My goal as an artist is to craft photographs that capture what I see, when I see in this way - such that the viewer may be similarly moved." "I seek simplicity in my images, striving to create a distilled essence that enables an experience of resonance in the viewer." "I want to transport the viewer into at times a peaceful place and at other times a place that is at first unfamiliar and then recognizable – with the confusion of chaos yielding to the excitement of discovery of underlying order." "Each new day, each new moment is a gift – whether found in the grand scale or intricacies of nature; or in the mundane and ordinary." "While each viewer’s experience and perspectives are unique, my aim is to tap into what is universal." "My delight is to be in service by sharing the gifts photography provides us."
